School for the stupid

[Slappie 9]

Is there such a thing? I need an edumacation but I is stupid.

Actually this is a serious subject for me. I just haven't the guts to spill my problems. Other then I'm scared shitless to fail. That is IF I decide to go at all.

I did find out though through another thread finding financial aid will be tougher then normal.

Oh nice.. why don't you take a long walk off a short pier.

Community college. They're used to dealing with people who is stoopid. Most if not all offer remedial classes in math and english and classes that teach study and research skills. They also offer free tutoring in most subjects.

If you're worried about failing, start slow. Even one class is going to school, and doing well in one class will give you the confidence you need to take more units the following semester. Pick a subject that you are interested in and preferably one that doesn't require a lot of homework (hot tip - math and english classes require a lot of homework). Stick with the full term classes for starters; the shorter term classes are tempting because you think you'll be done sooner, but the homework and study requirements will be brutal.

Community colleges are way less expensive than other schools too. I figure I'll be saving $20k+ by doing my lower division and general ed stuff at a community college instead of at a four year (and I'll get a really neat piece of paper to hang on the wall). The only classes I'm taking that won't transfer to a four year are the two remedial math classes (basic and intermediate algebra).

Thanks skybytch that's some good news. Got other issues I need to confirm or make them unconfirmed first. But, you helped me a bit. Future doesn't look so bleak now.

Start with one easy class that interests you.

That is how I got back into school after being a packer bum for a few years. I ended up getting an A in that class and it really inspired me to keep going. Now I'm applying to grad school!

Community college in Texas is extremely inexpensive as compared with a whole lot of things. In Houston, both Houston Community College and San Jacinto have multiple campuses. I think there's also a Harris County Community College.

Go and get yourself pregnant . . . it seems to be a nice gentle nudge in the right direction.

Just knowing you went through all the trouble to make that a colorfull VIBES (puke). I'm working on it as I type this. HCC is pretty slow to email / call people back.
